While a helicopters rotor is rotated by an engine during normal flight, the rotor of an autogyro is driven by aerodynamic forces in?autorotation. An engine-powered propeller, similar to that of a?fixed-wing aircraft, provides?thrust?for the autogyro.旋翼机是Autogyros are also known as?gyroplanes,?gyrocopters, or?rotaplanes.
